I would like to add my two cents to the un-neighbourly dogfight going on in what the below-Sherbrooke crowd likes to call "Upper Westmount." There has been a lot of squabbling over roof extensions and blocked views up here in our neck of the woods, and it is not about to stop —because I now have in my grubby little paws a nice fat permit from the City of Westmount that allows me to build not only one but TWO storeys above my existing non-heritage abode.

And if my neighbours are worried about the loss of their view, wait 'til they find out that my architectural plans call for floor-to-ceiling windows and, although I don't see how it's anybody's business, I often lounge around the house wearing nothing but patent leather shoes and a bow-tie. That’ll give them a view!

And why shouldn't I do it? I spent years scratching and clawing my way to the very fringes of my profession in order to afford this joint, and now, three alimonies and two malpractice suits later, I'm finally able to spruce the place up bit to impress the babes.

If any of my neighbours don't like it, they can get a permit of their own. If not, they can kiss by big fat… Well, you get the idea. <@Rb>Dr. H.Z. Hackenbush
